Meba 40W LED Batten IP54 Cool White - White

The Meba is a linear LED batten that delivers 5200 lumens from 40W of power, giving a working efficiency of 130 lm/W. Its 120 degree beam spreads light evenly along its length, with a fixed 4000K cool white tone that keeps surfaces and tools clearly lit. North American buyers will recognise this format as an LED shop light, the strip fitting commonly run above a workbench or along a garage ceiling, and it serves the same role as a wraparound light in a utility space. At 1213mm long it covers a useful stretch of ceiling from a single point, with an integrated LED array that needs no separate tube to fit.

At general lighting levels the 5200 lumen output covers around 17 m², which suits a single-car garage, a workshop bay, a utility room or a store cupboard. The cool white colour helps with close detail work such as repairs, sorting and labelling. Mounted to the ceiling, it sits flush against the surface and is well placed at standard garage and outbuilding ceiling heights where a clean wash of light matters more than decorative effect. With an IP54 rating it copes with splashes and dust, so it can also go in a sheltered porch or carport, though it should be kept clear of direct water jets and fully exposed positions.

Built around a steel body with a white finish, the Meba weighs 1.45 kg and measures 1213 by 152 by 57 mm. The IP54 sealing keeps moisture and airborne dust out of the housing, which is what allows its use in damp utility and garage settings. It runs on 220 to 240V AC mains and is not dimmable, with a rated lifespan of 50,000 hours. The fitting is ceiling mounted directly to the surface using its fixing points. Other wattages and lengths sit alongside it in the Meba batten range if a brighter or shorter run is needed.

Where is this batten typically used?

It is well suited to garages, workshops, utility rooms and store cupboards where even, practical light is the priority. The IP54 rating also allows use in sheltered outdoor spots such as a porch or carport. It should not be fitted in fully exposed positions or anywhere subject to direct water jets.

Can several battens be linked together in a run?

Battens of this style are commonly installed in series along a ceiling to light a longer space such as a workshop. Each unit runs on 220 to 240V AC mains and is wired and mounted individually. Check the supplied instructions for the wiring method before planning a continuous run.

How bright is it and how much area does it cover?

The Meba produces 5200 lumens at 40W, giving an efficiency of 130 lm/W. At general lighting levels that covers around 17 m², enough for a single-car garage or a utility room. The 4000K cool white tone keeps detail work clearly visible.

How do I clean the fitting?

Wipe the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth once the power is switched off and the unit is cool. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive pads, which can mark the white steel housing. The IP54 sealing helps keep dust out, but a periodic wipe keeps light output at its best.
